[@adrianelice9871]

This series always had a lot of sadness underneath the surface that people seem to gloss over. I think the mm3 soundtrack really highlights that.

[@billny33]

Adrian Elicegui I always thought the ending cutscenes did a good job highlighting that in 1-4 watching Mega Man walking home, alone with his thoughts. 1's version of this was portrayed as more upbeat but all of those made you really want to get in his head and wonder what he's thinking after such an ordeal, which of course is counter to how we're supposed to see a robot.

[@adrianelice9871]

[@BusaLova]

How strange is it to realize that I was 3 years old in 1990 and even as a freakin' toddler I loved the Megaman music, especially 2. We are three bloody decades later and I still love it. And by love, I mean it has a special place in my heart because it isn't just nostalgia and childhood innocence, they're also solid pieces of music.

[@chrispeng5502]

The title screen and the stage select music are pure gold, what a great way to start a great game, your ears already has an orgasm way before the game even starts, just submit.

[@Dargonhuman]

After starting with those tunes it's like, "My body is ready!" I still don't get why people say Mega Man 2 is a better OST than Mega Man 3. Mega Man 2 is great, don't get me wrong, and its Wily Fortress 1 is still one of the top 5 NES tracks of all time, but 3 is just better in so many other ways.

[@excrono]

Dargonhuman 3 just has a consistently amazing soundtrack, even for the typically throwaway Stage Select, Weapon upgrade and Password themes. 3 also has riveting Wily stage themes. Aside from 2s Wily Stage 1, it only had one other, weak Wily theme. So taken as a whole, 3 wins out.

[@gagesuther159]

Ears: Uuuuugh~!

[@hostiusasinhostilityhostil7853]

I'm neutral about this, but maybe it's because 2 was such a huge step-up from 1 overall, including in the music - besides, 2 is the best-selling Mega Man game as of now. Imagine if you go to, say, the circus and you see an okay trapeze act, then you go the next week for some reason (go with it plz); this time, though, you see the best trapeze act you've ever seen in your life. That moment is more impactful after the week before than the NEXT week, where you realise you like this particular trapeze act and go and see it again. Even if week 3 is marginally (or quite a bit) better than 2, you will always cherish 2's performance 40 years later because of nostalgia. (Weird illustration, I know, but it was the first thing that I thought of. Yep.)

[@luislizano7025]

I used to play in a clonic console. My first game was a 3 in 1 cartridge what contained Rockman 3, Adventure Island 3 and Double Dragon 3. Well, I only purchased this for the great music and the detailed logo in the start of the first game, I never played a Mega Man classic game before and seeing this in a 8-bit console was impressive. I moved to another city and I lost the cartridge, I feel so sad and nostalgic for that. Since that I always stick around to try to encounter one similar.

[@excrono]

18:15 When a usually throwaway get a weapon theme is the best track on the album, you know the composer put their heart and soul into the score.

[@Sliider36]

@@ethandarner MM9 is absolute fire, and my second favorite in the entire ip. my comment referred to 8-bit, but yes, MMX is legendary, and has some of the best tunes on the snes. MM2 really started it all for capcoms amazing sound reputation and was crazy good. but imo, its kinda over-rated. theres some awesome tracks on that ost. but i think capcom topped it with MM3 personally, and even MM4 and MM5 are brilliant. we dont talk about MM6- garbage. MM9 blew me away, but isnt true 8-bit technically i guess. MM2 is still solid as fck tho, cant argue that. not a single bad tune in there. i guess to me, its over-played and over-rated. and i like what they did with later titles, refining the sound and the melodies. either way, think we can agree MM2, MM3, MM9 and MMX are pretty much the pinnacle of megaman soundtracks. even MM7 had some bangers. its hard to choose favorites from this franchise, and ive made a couple video lists here on yt. but its never perfect lol.

Funny thing is, I suffer from a very severe misophonia (kind of a "intolerance" to certain sounds) and one of my "triggers" is whistles, specially in a tune practically identical to this song. The effects on me is having all of the body reactions to pain with psychological/cognitive adverse effects on top of it. To make it simple, whistles makes me "feel pain" and all the reactions related to it, from my body to my mind... But somehow this single song never triggered it.

Both 2 and 3 are tremendous games. I always liked the style of 2 just a bit more. 2 seems more innocent, beautiful, naive and dealing with themes of nature. 3 seems to be more practical, has more industrial and mechanical settings (which you would expect, naturally in a game about robots) and you can sense the difference in the soundtrack too. 3 feels more mature and sophisticated even, while 2 feels more timeless and beautiful. But regardless both have so many amazing tunes. I also think 3 will kick your ass considerably more. So the challenge is more mature too.

[@rmreader8810]

Wow, what an insightful interpretation. I was way too young to think about those two games in that manner!

[@MrMarinus18]

I think their base simplicity also has helped them age extremely well. They are just good NES games. Yet despite that they also are very innovative with the non-liniear structure, ability to use your enemy's power ups and the traversal powers. It really feels they first made a simple but very solid base and then build on top of that. This is in contrast to a lot of modern games that are just a bunch of overly complicated ideas thrown together.

One of the Best NES themes out there. My personal favorite - Top man Shadow man

[@vibhorpathak8219]

sparkman theme

THIS IS CHILDHOOD.. THE MUSICASWELL,, MAN MISSED THESE TIMES

[@Auricom45]

Hard Man's stage music is so underrated. So good!

[@franciscovalverdemusiccove8376]

Gives me the chills! Great song!

[@wimble6430]

this game has the happiest game over music ever

[@robertanderson2898]

THANK YOU for playing the entire whistle theme ending part. It always got cut off at the end, then i found out there's the way to slow everything down using a 2nd controller, so i heard the entire thing when i first did it.

Wait really?

[@user-is3py9pu4e]

私も途中までしか聞けないと思っていたんですが、弟の友人がおそらく同じ方法で最後まで聞かせてくれました。 それをビデオ録画して大事に保存してましたね

[@GardenCelluloids]

My favorite soundtrack of the NES mega man.

[@bombabombom3603]

Spark Man's theme is perfect

[@chubbycatfish4573]

Nothing quite takes me back to my childhood like the bit of music at 2:50

[@kevincruz290]

This tune reminds me of vetrex4life. Remember watching his videos about forgotten games.

[@rip93ford]

I'd say it's the game over music for me at 1:27 lol

[@chubbycatfish4573]

@@rip93ford That, too. lol

[@zuntuck]

これ作曲した人って、まじ神様だと思う 特にハードマンとスネークマン

[@markt4791]

This game has the coolest "sort of sad, but awesome" vibe to it. Kind of like Cowboy Bebop or something like that somehow.

[@FinalManaTrigger]

This soundtrack definitely has blues influence.

[@FinalManaTrigger]

@Ashwin Ash The title track is blues, through and through. And you can pick up hints of it in many of the other tracks.

[@RandomMcSomethin]

Not to mention Proto Man's Japanese name is Blues.

[@FinalManaTrigger]

@@RandomMcSomethin That's right!

[@JohnnyLeven]

Melancholic, but it's also upbeat. Most of the tracks have a "things are tough, but let's fucking do this" vibe. If anyone has any recommendations for other soundtracks like this let me know.

[@ShivamSharma-ob8ix]

This game and soundtrack is the reason why I became an engineer.

[@xtlm]

NES Mega Man soundtracks need to be in a museum somewhere.

[@gabgab1240]

Yeah!!

[@quandaleprogg]

You got: Sued

[@JayByrd83]

Better yet, there needs to be a video game radio station.

[@xtlm]

@@JayByrd83 I'd listen lol

[@judahosborne8868]

Whenever I hear Spark Man's theme I instantly think of those steppy one eyed robots that step almost to the beat

[@leahcampbell6628]

Megaman 3 is the best game. I like the robot masters. And the enemy robot selection theme. I'm a megaman fan and I'm good at centurman stage and the others

[@ravinderarock483]

😭😭😭😭.. Missing my childhood... I love you megaman

[@Dylan-zx8gw]

Im 13 and i love megaman (i Have played it since 4years)

[@Bread.]

spark man and shadow mans themes are so good, but proto man theme (epilogue in the list above) takes the cake, such a sad theme

[@grilledspy]

Sometimes I find myself listening to this randomly. I just love it so much!

[@sadfok7137]

This is the best video game soundtrack ever, not just the best Mega Man soundtrack.

[@pug_lover_6450]

Super Mario Galaxy would like to have a word with you

[@mika_iran]

@@pug_lover_6450 this is the biggest joke i've ever read

[@pug_lover_6450]

@@mika_iran thank you. While I do think Galaxy's soundtrack is amazing, I mostly said this as a j o k e. So thanks for the compliment bud

[@pug_lover_6450]

@Всё интересное oh yeah both soundtracks of Sonic CD are top tier. My personal favorite one is the Japanese one

[@pug_lover_6450]

@Всё интересное my favorite tracks are D.A Garden and Tidal Tempest Present. Stardust Speedway Present is a good listen tol

[@stang6552]

All these years later and I can still hmm along with every beat. The soundtrack alone makes this a top tier mega man game.

[@innocent-world1994]

18:15 個人的にロックマンシリーズの中で最高の武器入手曲だと思います。

[@feiwong3634]

Me too!

[@AP798D]

Mega man 3 is the best, soundtrack is amazing. Changed my life hearing this as a kid

[@R3SerialDreams2]

16:48 Best boss theme in the series imo You really feel a sense of urgency and danger with it.

[@laravel-vue-react-node]

One of the best video game songs even today! Love this composer!!

[@jaredscott367]

this soundtrack is monumental. especially the Wily songs. damn what a good one!

[@jasontodd8071]

The op theme gives the 13 year old me chills, knowing that I'm about to embark on an awesome adventure!
